    Hi folks,

    Maybe a random q, but just wondering is it possible to purchase a PCI Graphics card (Not PCI-E) with a DVI port (preferably x 2)

    I've an MSI motherboard with 1 PCI-E/AGP slot, (now full with a NVidia GeForce Graphics card) but would like to run 4 screens on my PC.

    Any help / assistance very much appreciated.

    Rgds

    Plenty of old hardware out there ATI, NVIDIA made pci cards, with passive and active cooling alike. Now I never seen a dual dvi pci card before but that doesnt mean there are none. I have an old ATI lying around, its pci, 256mb with vga and dvi conncetion.

    Mind you, finding drivers for win7 is a real pain, as even ccc wouldnt recognize my card in win7.

    Here's a 5450 with PCI interface. New enough generation. Very good mulitple monitor performance I'd say. It has 1 HDMI and 1 DVI, as well VGA but you can get an adapter for that HDMI port if you wish.

    Hi Guys,

    Thanks a million for everyones help.

    I have managed to source a card over on adverts.ie (plug plug ;D) so hopefully that will set me up for a nice 3 screen car sim racing station with my 3 19" Dell LCD monitors!!

    Many thanks
